Allotments 4 All

Still well before the major Christmas rush Jan.  Let's hope both packages turn up promptly.  Thank you for keeping us informed. 

I'm sorry about the delay in despatching seed circle seeds to everyone. The last package was due to arrive today but Royal Mail say they were 'unable to attempt delivery' which is disappointing. Fingers crossed for Monday.

In addition Ruud's older seeds have been in the care of Royal Mail since Monday which is a bit worrying. At least his main package is safely here and has been shared out.

All being well, I hope to send off the impressive selection of seed circle seeds early next week with or without the seeds requested by some of you from the older selection.

👍 Email sent.

I'd like to see a list of the squash and sweet peppers, please.

Great. I'll email you the list of those.

Got to love a challenge! Tomatoes and cues please !

You might remember that Ruud mentioned a few weeks ago that he has come by a lot of seed which is rather old. He is sending me a lot of this seed, in particular a very large number of squash varieties and quite a few tomatoes, chilli and sweet peppers, and a few cucumbers and melons. Some of these seeds will germinate and some won't. I would love to pass on as many of these seeds as anyone would like to experiment with. Ruud is keen that they shouldn't go to waste and is hoping that it will be possible to keep many of these varieties going.
As this is not really the realm of the seed circle, if you'd like any of these seeds, please do message me or indicate here and I will send you a list of varieties or simply choose for you at random if you prefer.

A late addition to the seed circle. I've saved seeds of Red Carpet' mustard. It's a variety I like, a deep red, less frondy than some but quite a pretty leaf. I did a germination test to check that they came true to type. They did but I fancied the germination rate wasn't as good as it might be. So you might want to sow a few more than usual. Original source was Nicky's Seeds.

Two more parcels have arrived today including Ruud's, so great that international post has done so well.

I have some spare seeds of Green Apple aubergine. It might well be that not everyone grows aubergines or if they do would want to grow a green one. It has dome well for me over a number of years and I managed to isolate a flower to get true seed.

I'd love to pass on a few seeds to anyone who would like some so please do say and I'll include some in your parcel.

Fantastic!
